Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: What a Coincidence
(Thanks to Old Xiong for the monthly ticket encouragement)
Walking out of Zhou Shuwen’s office, Liu Banxia was still a bit confused.
The brief chat just now revealed a large amount of information. His brain still needs some time to process it all.
First and foremost, the teachers have high expectations of him. His professional career will be more exhausting, not only having to perform surgeries but also summarize experiences.
Secondly, the teacher genuinely values the six juniors. There’s always been a thought to cultivate them into key players in the emergency center.
There’s another matter that he can’t quite understand.
Why does he need to do an interview again? Just like last time, he needs to go to the TV station for a recorded talk show.
Currently, he really doesn’t feel inclined to partake in such events. Last time, he tried his best to showcase the entire emergency center, while minimizing his own presence.
Whether others care or not is one thing, but he himself should pay some attention.
"What’s wrong? Did the director give you a talking to?"
Seeing him come out with a troubled expression, Wang Chao asked curiously.
"No criticism, just saying I need to do another episode. Last time left a psychological shadow, why are they making me go again?" Liu Banxia said.
Wang Chao rolled his eyes, "Others would be eager for it, but you’re dismissive. Even if our hospital has resources, such talk shows aren’t something anyone can do."
"But I really don’t want to go. What’s the host’s name again? Sui Wenjing, right? She asks very sharp questions. With my personality, I say whatever comes to mind, hard to guard against."
"Hahaha, that’s good, stress is a good thing. Young man, I have high hopes for you." Wang Chao said, pleased.
"Something’s off, why do I feel like you knew in advance?" Liu Banxia glanced at him.
"So what if I knew? I did know, what can you do about it?" Wang Chao said indifferently.
"This year’s Outstanding Youth, promoter of NOSES surgery, initiator of emergency knowledge entering campuses—just these three alone are enough for an episode."
"It’s not just our hospital that needs publicity, the city does too. Just go do the show, it’s basically stuff in the medical field, you can handle it."
Liu Banxia nodded, but despite the reassurance, there’s still inherent pressure.
His concern is about not having confidence in his "mouth." Once the conversation gets going, who knows what he’ll end up saying.
Moreover, the summary and promotion of NOSES surgery isn’t easy either.
This is a huge systematic project, relying solely on himself won’t cut it. Better to ponder over it, see how to handle it well, and check what work can be allocated to the six juniors.
Being entrusted with high expectations is joyful but also pressure-inducing. The work is not only time-consuming but laborious as well.
Thinking about it, his mind becomes restless again. Considering solidified skills, very curious about what changes success could bring.
But currently, he doesn’t dare try—today’s surgery was a good example.
Glory Points have accumulated some, but still not quite sustainable. If the next patient’s situation is similarly complex, with equally high difficulty, these Glory Points might be depleted in just a few surgeries.
Need to continue accumulating, wait until they reach a quantifiable batch to directly solidify attribute points. Then, true enjoyment can happen, can’t rush just yet.
Feeling somewhat pacified, Liu Banxia began organizing the relevant information of today’s two patients.
Must be solid and detailed, might come in handy in the future.
Wang Chao’s fecal transplant group is like finding a needle in a haystack, his project is similar. Especially in instrument operation, it’s very picky—more difficult than laparoscopic operation.
"Quick, come out, something major happened."
While organizing, Wang Chao rushed over and dropped a line, then rushed out again.
Scared Liu Banxia quite a bit, hurriedly followed out.
But upon reaching outside, he found no unusual situation. Admissions were proceeding as usual, no one was fighting or anything.
"Got me scared by Wang Chao, what’s going on?" Liu Banxia asked upon reaching Qi Wentai.
"Guess what? It’s a major event." Qi Wentai said with a smile.
"Just got dispatch notice, a sophomore student from the Institute of Technology got hit in the chest by a soccer ball, causing cardiac arrest."
"On-site, two classmates had attended your emergency lecture and provided CPR at the scene, gaining valuable time. They’re currently on the way here, isn’t this a big deal?"
Upon hearing Qi Wentai’s words, Liu Banxia almost wanted to curse.
How could it be so coincidental? This incident happening is probably more effective than any promotional and publicity effort on his part.
"President Qi, was it really cardiac arrest? Not a mistake?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Yes, it was truly cardiac arrest, many people were present. Moreover, these two students rotated during rescue, perhaps due to not being very proficient in CPR techniques, seems they rescued for over two minutes."
"No matter what, this is a life. If those two people weren’t there at the time, just waiting for the ambulance or performing random compressions, it would have been really difficult to save him."
"That’s right, it was really great. Our event is truly fantastic. For the next round, I’ll see if I have time to go check it out myself."
Liu Banxia didn’t know what to say, he had to admit the young guy was truly lucky to encounter such a small probability event.
The human heart functions on its own, adjusting according to emotions, blood pressure, and other body conditions. But when subjected to external impacts, it can cause some changes.
The perfectly fine rhythm was disrupted by the external impact. If it can be adjusted quickly, it’s just a momentary arrhythmia.
But what if it doesn’t adjust? It could lead to sudden death.
This student was like that, his body didn’t adjust on its own and needed external help for his heart to restart.
The rare situation was that there were two people on-site who knew a bit about it, and they managed to save him.
Isn’t this fate? Just a slight change in these factors, and this wouldn’t have happened.
After waiting for a while, the ambulance finally arrived.
"Current vital signs are stable, provided some oxygen," the paramedic said while pushing the patient out.
"Director Liu"
"Brother Liu"
Qiu Mingyuan and another young guy who came along called out to Liu Banxia.
"Was it you two who saved him?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Not us, those two are at the school now and are still very excited. He’s their class president, and I’m familiar with this place, so I came along," Qiu Mingyuan said.
"Brother Liu, is there still any danger? I was scared silly at that time. He was completely motionless, not even breathing, and the ball didn’t seem to have much impact either."
Liu Banxia flicked his forehead, "You were present, you even stood on stage during the teaching. Why didn’t you rescue the patient?"
Qiu Mingyuan awkwardly scratched his head, "I wanted to, but I was too nervous and missed the chance. Brother Liu, what exactly happened to him?"
"The heart has its own rhythm; when disrupted by external forces, it can cause arrhythmia. Some people adjust in a second or two due to their good physical condition, while others can’t," Liu Banxia explained.
"Since sudden death occurred, let’s observe him at our place for the night. Such a situation can cause changes in electrolytes in the body."
"Why?" Qiu Mingyuan asked curiously.
"Why? It’s a form of self-defense by the body, the endocrine system secretes blindly, causing some degree of electrolyte imbalance," Liu Banxia replied.
"Honestly, you always drop by my place for no reason, next time you come over, I’m going to make you practice CPR for a few hours."
The accompanying student chuckled openly, Director Liu is still so humorous.
"How’s it going?"
Just then, Liu Banxia saw Su Wenhao, who received the patient, walk out and quickly asked.
"Current vital signs are very stable, heart rate has returned to normal. We’ve administered fluids, taken blood tests, and will soon conduct a chest X-ray and ECG," Su Wenhao reported.
Liu Banxia nodded, "That should do. Inform your school."
"So truly nothing’s wrong, right? Everything like before?" Qiu Mingyuan inquired.
"More or less, but this incident will still have some impact. After all, he truly died once; the psychological impact is going to be significant," Liu Banxia said.
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t insist on observation overnight. Anyway, I’m on duty tonight, we’ll eat well. Consider it a celebration, it’s really rare."
Qiu Mingyuan laughed, now really relieved.
He has blind faith in Liu Banxia, whatever Liu Banxia says goes, and then he ran aside to contact the school.
This related matter can’t possibly be left in their hands alone; a counselor will be coming shortly.
Liu Banxia really came at the right time, things in this world probably happen this way, just coincidentally.
It’s very unfortunate for this young guy, but it’s a great push for the promotion of emergency knowledge.
"Brother Liu, what are we eating tonight? Anyway, I didn’t bring money," Qiu Mingyuan inquired after the call.
"I thought I might be able to mooch a meal off you, maybe the cafeteria or..."
"Di-di-di..."
"Teacher Liu, the patient’s ventricular fibrillation,"
Before Liu Banxia could finish, the patient’s monitor started alarming, and Su Wenhao by the bed sounded an alert too.
